For that reason is why I wanted a fugly. So I could be different and not the same as everybody else. I dont know what I will get if everybody gets smart and gets one.....

You got one because it looks great and rides better!

I too wanted to be different and am on my 2nd RG. My local dealer calls the Street Glides the "Me too" bike. It seems as if 1/2 the Harleys around are SG.

100% agree as well. Went to look around that one Salesguy I know was trying to push me on a street glide. I went to see the 15 Roadglide and have a seat. Every touring rig I see around is a batwing. I like them don't get me wrong. But I want / like different.
Everybody buys what they like and it's all good to me.

That's cool. RG is a great bike. I just decided to work my way through all the models before going back to the shark!

I've always loved the way the Sharks handles. Even the old Evo Tour Glide Fuglys. They are the only fairing bagger that can keep up with a Road King in the twisties. I just have an issue with how much of the road you can't see, directly in front of...... ANY bike with a fairing. Some people are cool with that, and others don't even notice. I could probablly get used to that, over time, but having a full field of view is still rather appealing to this "old fart".

RG looks great on the dealer floor. The problem comes in when you ride it on the street. If you ever looked at one going down the road, you would reconsider them. They're hideous looking on the road.

Therefore if I ever want to own a garage queen that looks bad a$$, I'll buy a Shark. But until then, while I still wanna be bad a$$ on the street, I'll keep my Ultra Limited.
